Blazing Lions Morning Walk/Run Program

The Blazing Lions is Longfellow's morning walk/run program held at the school in the fall and in the spring. On Blazing Lions meet up days, we meet before school from 8:00am-8:40am and students earn a stick for every lap they walk/run around the pathway painted on the blacktop. The sticks are added up at the end of the program and the top 3 grade levels earn extra time in the gym. We encourage families to participate! Each family member earns 2 sticks for each lap, known as the 2 for 1 deal! 

Blazing Lions 5k Training Program

In addition to the early morning walk/run program, Longfellow hosts a Blazing Lions 5k training program in the spring. Fourth and fifth grade students are invited to participate in training program over their mid-day recess that prepares them to run Longfellow's Jeanne Richie Memorial Puddle Jump in April.
